The film is set in the Old West and follows the story of Jim Kipp (played by Randolph Scott), a bounty hunter known for his skill in catching fugitive criminals. Barnes is assigned to capture three bandits who have attacked a stagecoach, one of whom has been wounded in the leg, but of whom no one can give a description.
